[4mRationale[0m
The policy of allowing election to consecutive terms has not
assured continuity on the Academic Appeals Board. Faculty who have
served on this Committee feel continuity is important.
If approved, current faculty elected to the Academic Appeals Board
by the faculty would select two of their members to continue service
through 1990-91. Two new members would be elected to serve two-year
terms from 1990-92; an alternate would be elected to serve a one year
term. Members of the Board should not serve more than two consecutive
terms to assure broader representation on the Board over a period of
years. The alternate should serve only a one-year term so they may
become eligible to serve a full two-year term after one year as an
alternate.
